Chapter 696: Saving a Life
Ling Ying sometimes flew low above the water, sometimes turned sharply over the boulder in front of him, Chen Lin lay on his shoulder, as if he was flying, he always liked to pursue the pleasure of high-speed exercise, and he did not feel the slightest fear of everything now, but had a novel and exciting feeling.
The Night Pearl didn't play much of a lighting role in high-speed flight, and Chen Lin intuitively guessed that Ling Ying was flying in such a narrow space, not only relying on extraordinary eyesight and judgment, he should be quite familiar with the environment here.
Ling Ying spun sharply in the air, slanting to the right, rushing through the narrow gap in front of him at high speed.
The sound of the tide became much smaller in an instant, and Ling Ying's flight speed began to slow down at the same time, his snow-white wings spread horizontally, using the inertia of high-speed flight just now to glide freely against the surface of the water.
Chen Lin's eyesight had begun to gradually adapt to this dark environment, the light of the night pearl reflected to the surroundings, the water surface was rippled like fish scales, and the violent underground river just now became so gentle in an instant, it was really unimaginable.
The river surface became wider and wider, and soft white sand began to appear on both sides of the underground river, Ling Ying tilted his body slightly, and the angle of gliding suddenly changed, and he carried Chen Lin on his back and landed smoothly on the river beach.
Chen Lin let go of Ling Ying's body, and carefully stepped on the sand with his feet, sure that he would not fall, and then took a step forward.
Ling Ying walked forward without saying a word, and used the dagger in his hand to dig out a black leather case next to a white boulder.
Chen Lin leaned over curiously, his guess was really good, Ling Ying had been here before.
Ling Ying opened the black suitcase, there were several leather coats, and handed one of them to Chen Lin, "Let's change it"
Chen Lin quickly took off his clothes and changed into a black leather coat, the size was just right, Ling Ying took out a glass bottle from the box, poured out a little liquid, and sprinkled it on Chen Lin's body. He explained in a low voice, "The thieves have poor eyesight, but their sense of smell is unusually acute, and this potion can make your body emit a similar body odor to theirs, so that they don't recognize your identity." ”
He took out the paintbrush in the box, dipped it in paint, and painted a strange pattern on Chen Lin's face, "The thieves don't like to show people their true faces, which is just in our favor. ”
He also found a well-fitting black leather coat and put it on, burned his hair black with dye, painted patterns on his face, and then put the clothes they had changed into a suitcase and buried them in the white sand under the boulder.
The two walked all the way along the river beach, but they didn't see any thieves along the way, and after walking for more than ten miles, they saw a small ferry in front of them, and a small stone boat was quietly moored in front of the ferry, and a middle-aged thief who made a living from it was dozing there.
Hearing the sound of their footsteps, the thief raised his head vigilantly, his ears and sense of smell were extremely sensitive, and he could judge that he was from his own tribe from the smell of his body.
Ling Ying greeted the thief clansman with a smile, the two came together and whispered something, the thief kept shaking his head, and after talking for a while, he nodded with a smile and patted Ling Ying's shoulder enthusiastically.
Ling Ying took out a night pearl the size of a soybean from his waist and stuffed it into the hands of the thief clan, who stared blankly at the brilliance of the night pearl and let out an ecstatic laugh.
Ling Ying gave Chen Lin a look, Chen Lin understood, and took the lead in entering the boat, Ling Ying uncovered the cable tied to the ferry, picked up the stone oars on the boat, rowed with all his strength, and the boat went against the current.
"You bought this boat," Chen Lin asked curiously.
Ling Ying nodded, "If you want to go to Parthia, you must go through this route. ”
"Parthia"
"Parthia in the mouth of the thieves means the city of heroes, but the real situation is chaos and disorder."
Chen Lin asked worriedly, "Have they been caught in Parthia?"
"When the robbers have captured the captives and the booty, they will all be transported to Parthia, where they will be worshipped at their altars for the grace of the true god, and then they will be distributed, and if it goes well, we will be there before they can distribute the booty."
Thinking that Xuanbo and Xuan'er had all fallen into the hands of the thieves, Chen Lin's heart was like a fire, for fear that the thieves would be unfavorable to them.
Ling Ying seemed to guess Chen Lin's worries at this time, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, before worshipping the true god Duohan, no one will be unfavorable to the spoils of war, even the leader of the bandit clan, Taitur, does not dare to make an exception."
Chen Lin looked at Ling Ying, although he didn't know Ling Ying, but he trusted Ling Ying very much in his heart, he believed that Ling Ying had the same purpose as himself, "Why do the people of the Wing Clan call you a traitor?"
Ling Ying's dark blue gaze flickered in the darkness, he didn't answer Chen Lin's question, but asked, "Where did you meet that Wing Clan girl?"
Chen Lin sighed and said, "We are partners now, we must trust each other, her name is Xuan'er, when I knew her, I didn't know that she was a member of the Wing Clan, and her wings could be invisible." ”
Ling Ying said, "Mminna has already told me that your companion is a member of the Xiangkong family. Recalling the tragic situation when Mu Minna died, Ling Ying's cold eyes moistened, and he had extraordinary feelings for Mu Minna, and it was this venerable old man who raised him single-handedly.
"You are also a member of the Xiangkong family," Chen Lin seemed to guess something.
Ling Ying pursed his lips, but did not admit it, nor did he deny it.
"Lu Ti Na Lu Ti Na Na" There was a frightened cry in the wind and waves, Chen Lin raised his eyes, but saw a thin figure squirming on the reef not far away, as if calling for help.
"Someone," Chen Lin said loudly.
Ling Ying said expressionlessly, "Thief clan, don't worry about him"
"Zamonaiza Monet"
"Help, help, help" In a short period of time, the thief actually changed several languages, and even Ling Ying couldn't help but feel curious, in his impression, language has always been the weakness of the thief, and the thief who can skillfully use so many languages must not be an ordinary person.
Chen Lin looked at the direction of the reef with some unbearability, "If we don't save him, maybe he will die"
Ling Ying said indifferently, "The place where he is full of rocks, I am afraid that our small boat will be smashed into powder before it gets close, is it worth doing this for a strange thief?"
Chen Lin said in a low voice, "But we can't watch him die, I'll row the boat, you fly over to save him"
Ling Ying glanced at Chen Lin coldly, "Don't forget, we are now disguised as thieves, do you want to take the initiative to reveal your identity?"
Getting closer and closer to the reef, Chen Lin could already see clearly that on the reef was a young man with a whole body, his hands and feet were chained, the skin of his body had been soaked puffy and pale, and his clear face was full of prayer and expectation.
